or anyone else who might b able to help.

We have an exhaust manifold with a crack in it and want to know if we can clean the crack out and weld it back together. It isa a cast iron fannymold.

Mentioned Redhand 'cos I know he has something to do with welding.

Thanks in advance!

To weld a cast manifold requires the manifold heating to at least 300 deg and then dissimilair welding rods used with an arc welder, can be welded cold but will crack within weeks.

Shirly that would be a farrier not a blacksmith?

Round these parts the blacksmith doubles up as the farrier.

Problem solved. Customer is going to locate new manifold himself and bring us a different vehicle with different jobs to do on it.(Kingpins on a Metrocab).
